I was having trouble with my computer running slow and some system tray icons not showing up, so I ran Spybot. It found FakeMSN8Beta, but I'm not really sure what this is. All I know is, I can't run HijackThis and this program is a whole lot of trouble. My computer was so slow it was basically frozen earlier, but I rebooted and opened task manager right away and closed anything I didn't completely recognize. Now I can pretty much use my computer, through some things still don't work quite right and some programs (like HijackThis) won't open. I haven't done anything yet - please help me!

P.S. Sorry about not having any logs - I can't make any anywhere. I also downloaded MsnVirRem.exe on my desktop but it won't open. I NEED HELP!

I downloaded MsnVirRem.exe to try to get rid of my FakeMSN8Beta virus, but the program won't even open! I tried downloading the ZIP version, but can't find one anywhere! What do I do?
